Chapter 12: Final Exams

Tsuki POV
After two weeks of training with my chakra control and my one handed jutsus, I finally grasped the the handle of it. Today is the last part of the exams so everyone is meeting at the arena. I was intentionally going alone, but I met up with both Hinata and Kiba along the way. I'm currently walking with them and I could see that Hinata's still weak from her fight with Neji. I go to say that their fight was pretty brutal. I mean he almost killed her by using the Gentle Fist Style. Neji needs to get that stick out his ass because it's too far up. Then there's Kiba, he's not wearing his sweater today and he kind of looks attractive, but he's not my type he's too cocky, arrogant and flirtatious. Anyways he got beaten by Naruto and that kind of surprised me. Naruto literally farted in his face and used that to his advantage. Anyways were walking to the exams to watch the fights since we got eliminated from the past round.

I wanted to go alone, but I don't mind. They're both quiet right now, so it won't be as irritating as usual. I walked behind them ignoring their conversation about who'll win during the final round. I simply don't care and don't bother to find out. I only came to watch because there was nothing else to do around the village. We walked up the stairs and then down the stairs to three empty seats. The seats were next to Kotetsu and Izumo. We sat down and stared ahead looking at the standing participants who're in the middle of the arena. I don't see Naruto nor Sasuke. And it looks like that one Sound ninja is missing as well.

I just hope they arrive or else all that training would've been a waste of time. I see the other participants like Shikamaru, Shino, Neji, Kankuro, Temari, and Gaara. I intentionally grab my left arm softly as I see him. I used to feel light headed with a daze, my heart flutter, or receive butterflies when I saw the red head, but now I feel slight fear that he may harm me again. I still remember those merciless and bloodthirsty eyes when I fought him, the same eyes I thought were beautiful. Was I always blinded to see who he really was? Was I too much of a fool to notice his real purpose? I guess I was since I'm here with a unfixable arm that can't be healed or serve to help me during a battle.

Anyways I steered my eyes away from him, not wanting to look at him anymore. I sigh as I watch ahead waiting for the battles to commence. It's taking too long. I turn my head to the side as I see a flash of pink. I watch as Sakura sits with Ino not that far away from me. I guess they made up and became friends again.

Goody, now I'll have to watch my back for the fangirl duo who like to bully me.

I slump in my chair as I realize that everyone is getting along and I'm here in my own bubble of isolation. They're to ignorant to notice the pain of others, they'll never experience it. The pain to be neglected, hated, and mentally abused by your own parents. The pain to forcefully grow up, to skip your childhood life, to do intense studying, to live up to everyone's expectations. It's tiring trying to be perfect, when yourself knows that you're anything, but perfect. I'm a mistake. Nothing but a waste of space.

I look up and see the orange blob I call my teammate slide through the dirt and stop beside Shikamaru. I swear he likes to make a grand entrance.

"Run!! There's a stampede of bulls headed this way!!!" Naruto exclaims as he looks back to the entrance.

Bulls? Stampede?

"Stand up and present yourself to the spectators" Genma says.

"Huh" Naruto says obviously.
